Frocktober Day Twenty Two

I'm calling this one the Elaine

wearing vintage(?) 90's Chain Reaction frock and Jellys

I thought about wearing Nikes or brogues with bobby socks to complete the picture, but I had places to go and not enough time to change shoes. I couldn't bring myself to wear this dress with shoes like that in public - although I do sometimes pop on my runners with a dress or skirt to take the dog for a walk when I can't be bothered to change - but always under the cover of darkness!

for obvious reasons:

Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) Seinfeld

George: Is it my imagination, or do really good-looking women walk a lot faster than everybody else?

Elaine: We don't walk that fast.

(Seinfeld, Season 4, The Handicap Spot)

You gotta love her!

this is our lovely old shed, if we decide to stay in the shop/house we would like to turn it into a little house...

Fantastic News!

Miss Powder Blue, the lovely vintage frock generously donated by V of Two Squirrels Vintage has been sold. I am thrilled to report that Vicky is its new owner. Between them, the girls have added another fifty bucks to my Frocktober fund, which is currently sitting pretty at $1630 :)

Only nine days to go. Please sponsor me here if you can help make it even prettier. Thank you x

I've been told I dance like Elaine too:

no live footage I'm afraid, that would be taking our friendship too far!

You are so gorgeous in these photos! I mean movie star gorgeous, not just garden variety gorgeous :) I love that dress. Am I the only one who has a hard time realizing that 1990 was almost 25 years ago? The 90s seem like yesterday.

I LOVE the description.....the Elaine. Whenever I watch Seinfeld I am astounded at how much fashion has changed. The Elaine looks lovely on you, as do all of your frocks. You are a super model my Love!!! Xx

Yeah, Kylie's got the MOVES! Looking lovely in your Elaine frock, but what I am really envying is that blue sky... Well done to Vanessa and Vicky, it's great that Miss PB has a new home and has raised more money as well. xxx

You are so cute in those twirling photos Kylie. Wish there was live footage, I'd love to hear you laughing :) I am so enjoying seeing all these snippets of your home too. That shed would make a lovely little house. xx
